Addition:
25 inch frame, 23 inch top tube

I also have a "Paramount" bottle cage. Would that add any value to the bike?

$165 to $175 in my market... large frame sizes are a bit harder to sell. but value depends on season, condition, and location.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably sell it for $200/obo. I should hope for at least $150...

It will sell to a recreational rider, extras = reduced margin for you. Put a basic bottle cage on there, $2 or so.

Mismatched tires is a negative, rear looks pretty old.

Yeah, it's one of the original tires. I have some tires on order, should replace it when they get here. I'll not put the nice bottle cage on it.

Thanks Bill for the feedback.

I'm assuming that it looks good aside from the cheapskate attempt to save money on the rear tire?

By 1988 the World Sport was a pretty respectable rider. I'd say $150 max on this one.

FJ: I promise, I won't make over $150 net! Thanks for the feedback, it's all good.

I got lucky and found an '88 World Sport in great shape on CL for $25 about 5 years ago. It got me back onto biking and onto this website. I am a recreational rider and have put a zillion fun miles on it. I was offered $150 for it last summer. I still have it! (The bike, not the $150.)
